The Office of School Choice is no longer accepting general student transfer requests 2019-2020 school year. Transfer requests for current ECSD students will be accepted again at the beginning of the second semester.

Approval of transfer requests hinges upon multiple factors, including school capacities, academic, attendance, and behavior records of the applicant, and, in some cases, deadlines.

For more information regarding the student transfer process, please peruse the School Choice website, or give our office a call at 469-5580.

Entering our schools for the first time?

If your student is entering our schools for the first time, please take a moment to pre-register your child in our student information system. This will make the formal registration process (and School Choice process, where applicable) much faster for your family.

School Capacities Published

The relationship between a school's enrollment numbers and its student workstations determines its capacity. A school's capacity designation is key to the School Choice process, as it informs decision-making in regards to requests to place out-of-zone students at any given school. If a school's enrollment exceeds its established utilization rate, the school is deemed "over-capacity". While the Office of School Choice does not discourage families from submitting student transfer requests, our office does not typically approve requests to place students at over-capacity schools.

The following schools are currently designated as "over-capacity".
